Rep. Ellmers Introduces Bill in House of Representatives to Defund UNFPA

Rep. Renee Ellmers introduced a bill (H.R. 2059) last month that would eliminate funding for the United Nations Population Fund (UNFPA). UNFPA is an international development agency that promotes the right of every woman, man and child to enjoy a life of health and equal opportunity. UNFPA works to ensure that every pregnancy is wanted, every birth is safe, every young person is free of HIV, and every girl and woman is treated with dignity and respect.  Currently, the U.S. is contributing $40 million a year to support UNFPA's work, but opposition is building in the U.S. House of Representatives.
